Orange elections supervisor race, already upended by litigation, triggers another lawsuit
A disqualified candidate for Orange County elections supervisor is suing the political rival who got her removed from the ballot, asking a judge to toss him from the race, too.
The lawsuit is the latest development in a contest that has already been upended by litigation.
Cynthia Harris is suing Dan Helm, a Democrat in the race, and accusing him of not properly filling out the paperwork to shorten his legal name “Daniel” to “Dan” on the ballot.
Helm successfully got Harris, a no-party candidate, removed from the ballot through litigation earlier this month. Judge Lisa Munyon agreed with Helm and tossed Harris from the race for not properly paying her qualification fee.
